In the Nikopol area, five communities (Novooleksandrivska, Marhanetska, Pokrovska, Myrivska, Chervonohryhorivska) suffered damage to a warehouse, infrastructure, and a farm building; a 43-year-old man hospitalized in severe condition. Bohdanivka community, Pavlohrad district and Mezhivka community, Synelnykove district were also targeted. A watermarked photo shows a single-story house with a buckled corrugated roof and shattered windows. (event time: 10 Nov 2026; Олександр Ганжа / Дніпропетровська ОДА, 16:30:08/16:30:09; confidence HIGH for official reporting, UNCONFIRMED for independent casualty verification)

  • Air Force issues six additional jet-UAV alerts extending multi-oblast sequence: Повітряні Сили ЗС України reported: jet UAV south of Poltava heading northwest (16:11:02); jet UAV in west Dnipropetrovsk Oblast heading toward Oleksandriya, Kirovohrad Oblast (16:12:02); jet UAV in north Rivne Oblast heading toward Sarny (16:15:38); jet UAV in east Vinnytsia Oblast past Haisyn heading north (16:18:04); UAV toward Dashiv heading toward Illintsi (16:20:38); jet UAV north of Korosten heading west (16:23:56). Combined with the prior batch, the alert sequence now spans Odesa, Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Kirovohrad, Chernihiv, Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk, Rivne, and Vinnytsia oblasts. No interception or impact data supplied for any alert. (event time: 10 Nov 2026, 16:11–16:24 UTC; Повітряні Сили ЗС України, 16:11:02/16:12:02/16:15:38/16:18:04/16:20:38/16:23:56; confidence HIGH for alert issuance; UNCONFIRMED for outcomes)

  • 412th Brigade "Nemesis" claims FP-2 strike on Russian Shahed storage and launch site at Donetsk Airport: БУТУСОВ ПЛЮС (16:18:01) and WarArchive (16:24:04) relay a produced video package attributed to the 412th Separate Unmanned Systems Brigade "Nemesis," claiming strikes on concrete shelters storing Shahed and "Geran-5" drones, and on a UAV control point in the former dispatcher tower at Donetsk International Airport, Donetsk Oblast. The video includes a 3D animated layout labeled "droneport," thermal targeting frames, and satellite imagery dated April 2024 (Airbus DS). WarArchive provides geolocation 48.071721, 37.754693 (a few km west of the runway centerline, approximate). FP-2 kamikaze drones are named as the strike platform. The package mixes footage bearing a "СПАЛАХ" unit emblem alongside 412 NEMESIS branding. No independent damage assessment, timestamp, or Russian-side confirmation is supplied. (event time: ~November 2026; БУТУСОВ ПЛЮС, 16:18:01; WarArchive, 16:24:04; confidence MEDIUM for geographic identification of the airport; LOW for specific damage and munition type; UNCONFIRMED for Shahed inventory losses)

  • TASS: Russian delegation at Abu Dhabi trilateral talks will not brief press Tuesday; conference planned Wednesday: ТАСС (16:07:36) reports, citing an unnamed source in the negotiating group, that the Russian delegation will not make statements to the press on Tuesday (10 November) and that a press conference is planned for Wednesday (11 November). This extends the prior-batch reporting on the Abu Dhabi session. (event time: 10 Nov 2026; ТАСС, 16:07:36; confidence MEDIUM per named outlet and attributed source; UNCONFIRMED for substantive meeting content)

  • Bulgarian protests against EU Black Sea Maritime Security Centre in Varna: Рыбарь (16:20:41) reports that European Commission President von der Leyen was met with protests in Varna, Bulgaria, under the slogan "Varna wants peace, not war," with a petition exceeding 6,000 signatures against the visit. Revival party leader Kostadin Kostadinov questioned the necessity of the new centre and criticized the absence of Bulgarian consultation. The channel frames the protests as evidence of domestic opposition to Bulgaria's alignment with EU/NATO Ukraine policy. This adds a domestic-political dimension to the €50M centre announced in the prior batch. (event time: 10 Nov 2026; Рыбарь, 16:20:41; confidence MEDIUM for protest occurrence per named channel; UNCONFIRMED for petition count and political impact)

  • Bloomberg: Tanker Agioi Fanendes carrying Russian diesel reverses ~400 NM off US East Coast: ЦАПЛІЄНКО_UKRAINE FIGHTS (16:23:55) and РБК-Україна (16:26:58) relay Bloomberg reporting that the tanker Agioi Fanendes, carrying approximately 300,000 barrels (~40,000 MT) of ultra-low-sulfur Russian diesel, turned back approximately 740 km (~400 nautical miles) from New York, then began moving away from the US coast. Two prior tankers reportedly made similar maneuvers. РБК-Україна attaches a photo of the vessel. The underlying AIS tracking data is Bloomberg-sourced; the "Trump-Putin diesel deal failure" framing is the Telegram poster's editorial addition, not attributed to Bloomberg. (event time: 10 Nov 2026; ЦАПЛІЄНКО_UKRAINE FIGHTS, 16:23:55; РБК-Україна, 16:26:58; confidence MEDIUM-HIGH for tanker reversal per Bloomberg AIS data; UNCONFIRMED for causal explanation and the two prior incidents)

  • Ukrainian General Staff claim strike on Redkinsky Experimental Plant, Tver Oblast; satellite imagery annotated: Exilenova+ (16:32:09) reports the Ukrainian General Staff announced a strike on the night of 9 October 2026 (as stated in the caption; see date note below) against the Redkinsky Experimental Plant (РОЗ) in Tver Oblast, described as producing ferrocene derivatives, corrosion inhibitors, and fuel components for Kh-55 and Kh-101 cruise missiles. Annotated satellite imagery dated 21 October shows two red-boxed areas indicating a disrupted roof structure and a smaller building. Coordinates 56.649821, 36.296785 and 56.650187, 36.295530 are provided. The analyst flags the "October 9" date as potentially a typo for November 9 or a genuine prior-month event. No Russian official acknowledgment or independent MChS report is cited. (event time: night of 9 Oct 2026 per caption, UNRESOLVED whether Oct or Nov; Exilenova+, 16:32:09; confidence MEDIUM for satellite imagery authenticity; LOW for strike date and specific damage; UNCONFIRMED for Kh-55/Kh-101 fuel production role)

  • Presidential Brigade claims ZU-23-2 gun downed two Russian drones near Kyiv in under 10 minutes: Президентська бригада ЗСУ (16:20:06) and Оперативний ЗСУ (16:29:41) report that a ZU-23-2 23 mm twin-barrel anti-aircraft gun crew, under commander Yevhen "Ikar" of the Presidential Brigade's Anti-Aircraft Missile and Artillery Battalion, shot down two Russian loitering munitions (referred to as "Banderoles") using two bursts within less than 10 minutes. The video content was not available for independent frame analysis. No geolocation, date, or drone-type confirmation is supplied beyond "near the capital." (event time: 10 Nov 2026; Президентська бригада ЗСУ, 16:20:06; Оперативний ЗСУ, 16:29:41; confidence MEDIUM for unit and equipment consistency; UNCONFIRMED for shootdown outcome)

Reported situation by area

Dnipropetrovsk Oblast (new official casualty and damage report): Hanza/ОВА (16:30:08) provides the most detailed single-day accounting in this batch: 3 killed, 5 injured, 30+ attacks across Dnipro city, Dniprovskyi, Nikopol, Pavlohrad, and Synelnykove districts.

Reported strikes and air-defense activity

  • Jet-UAV alerts (six new in this batch): Повітряні Сили ЗС України: south of Poltava (16:11:02); west Dnipropetrovsk toward Oleksandriya (16:12:02); north Rivne toward Sarny (16:15:38); east Vinnytsia past Haisyn (16:18:04); toward Dashiv/Illintsi (16:20:38); north Korosten heading west (16:23:56). No interception or impact data. (confidence HIGH for alert issuance; UNCONFIRMED for outcomes)

  • Donetsk Airport "droneport" (claimed Ukrainian strike): 412 NEMESIS via БУТУСОВ ПЛЮС (16:18:01) and WarArchive (16:24:04): FP-2 kamikaze drones claimed against Shahed/Geran-5 storage bunkers and UAV control point. 3D animation and thermal frames provided; no independent BDA. (confidence MEDIUM for location; LOW for damage; UNCONFIRMED for munition type and inventory losses)

  • Redkinsky Experimental Plant, Tver Oblast (claimed Ukrainian strike): Exilenova+ (16:32:09): General Staff claim; satellite imagery dated 21.10 with two annotated impact zones. Date ambiguity (9 October vs. 9 November) unresolved. (confidence MEDIUM for imagery; LOW for strike specifics)

  • Presidential Brigade ZU-23-2 shootdowns near Kyiv: Президентська бригада ЗСУ (16:20:06) and Оперативний ЗСУ (16:29:41): two "Banderoles" claimed downed in two bursts under 10 minutes. No video frames independently examined; no geolocation. (confidence MEDIUM for unit/equipment plausibility; UNCONFIRMED for shootdown)

  • Dovbush's Hornets (68th Brigade) night logistics strike: STERNENKO (16:07:01): thermal drone footage claims a buggy, two quad bikes, two vehicles, and two personnel hit. Video shows only one vehicle tracked and struck. Location unspecified; terrain consistent with southern frontlines. (confidence MEDIUM for single-vehicle strike; LOW for aggregate claims; UNCONFIRMED for location)

  • Votkinsk plant strike (referenced via merchandise): КіберБорошно (16:21:09): a streetwear brand's graphic depicts a 30×24 m breach at the Votkinsk missile plant workshop, attributed to FP-5 "Flamingo." This is a commercial product, not an operational report; the underlying strike claim is referenced but not independently detailed in this batch. (confidence LOW for the merchandise as evidence; the prior reporting on Votkinsk strikes remains the substantive source)

  • Russian MoD "fire barrage" video: MoD Russia (16:34:57): thermal video attributed to "heavy flamethrower systems" of Sever, Zapad, and Tsentr groups. Visual analysis notes the pattern (multiple discrete impacts, elevated perspective) is more consistent with artillery or mortar fire than flamethrower or TOS-1A thermobaric systems. No geolocation. (confidence LOW for weapon-system attribution; MEDIUM for a fire-support event occurring)

  • Russian MoD "ERAM/Rusty Dagger" interception claim: Дневник Десантника (16:25:53): claims Russian MoD confirmed interception of four US-made small cruise missiles. The attached photo is a Zone5 test-range image of an intact missile, not an intercepted warhead. No MoD press release link, date, or location provided. (confidence LOW; UNCONFIRMED)

  • Prior-batch claims with no new update in this batch: Staraya Russa 123rd ARZ, Russian oil-refinery capacity figures, Nizhyn oil-processing plant, Sloviansk residential damage, Zatoka bridge corridor, Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi, Kropyvnytskyi Epicentr, Black Sea cargo vessel, Dnipro critical-infrastructure strike (superseded by new OVA report above), Chornomorsk/Port Yuzhny, Kamianske, Druzhkovka, Kondratovka. These stand as previously reported.

Reported Russian activity

  • Abu Dhabi delegation press schedule: ТАСС (16:07:36): Russian delegation will not brief press on Tuesday; conference planned Wednesday. No content of the trilateral session is disclosed. (confidence MEDIUM per TASS source; UNCONFIRMED for meeting substance)

  • CSTO ministerial session, Moscow: MoD Russia (16:03:23, prior batch): Defence Minister Belousov participated in joint CSTO ministerial meeting. Title card reads "10 November 2025" while message timestamp is 2026. Carried forward as previously reported; date discrepancy unresolved.

  • Suvorov memory ceremony, Moscow: Басурин о главном (16:07:00): 6 November 2026 ceremony at Museum of Victory inscribing Generalissimo Suvorov into the "Eternally Alive" Book of Memory and Glory. 106th Guards Airborne Division mentioned as having received the Order of Suvorov "for the special operation." Framed by the channel as linking historical military glory to the current conflict. Non-combat propaganda/memory-politics event. (confidence MEDIUM-HIGH for event occurrence per 8 corroborating photos; editorial framing noted)

  • Yabloko party legal challenge rejected: ASTRA (16:20:13): Russian Constitutional Court refused to hear Yabloko's complaint about removal from Duma elections. The party had been deregistered on 10 August by the Supreme Court on grounds including alleged foreign financing and unpaid agitation. Non-combat domestic political matter. (confidence MEDIUM per ASTRA reporting)

  • Vyazniki recruitment-funding suspension: МОБИЛИЗАЦИЯ (16:18:01): BARS-Vladimir contract and recruiter payments suspended 27 October due to local budget shortfalls. Non-combat administrative matter. (confidence MEDIUM; UNCONFIRMED for enforcement)

  • MoD Russia "fire barrage" propaganda video: MoD Russia (16:34:57): thermal footage attributed to flamethrower systems across three operational groups. Weapon-system claim inconsistent with visual evidence. (confidence LOW for weapon attribution; UNCONFIRMED for location)

  • Russian MoD ERAM interception claim: Дневник Десантника (16:25:53): unverified claim of four US-made small cruise missiles intercepted. Photo is a test-range image, not battlefield evidence. (confidence LOW; UNCONFIRMED)

  • Hockey dispute: СПЧ/Kotsnews (16:27:11/16:28:01): Sports Arbitration Court returned Russian hockey teams to international competition; Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Czech Republic, and Latvia refused to play against Russia at the 2027 World Championship in Germany. Non-combat sports-political matter. (confidence MEDIUM per relayed reporting)

  • Iran underground missile facility: Colonelcassad (16:20:40): Iranian military media released photos of an underground missile storage facility. The "war with the USA" framing and Diego Garcia rationale are editorial additions not corroborated by the images or by any verifiable US-Iran conventional conflict. (confidence MEDIUM for facility photos as Iranian state media; LOW for the "new" and "war" framing; non-combat, noted for information-environment completeness)

Reported Ukrainian activity

  • Air Force alert management (six new alerts): Повітряні Сили ЗС України issued alerts for Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk→Kirovohrad, Rivne, Vinnytsia (two tracks), and Korosten between 16:11 and 16:24 UTC. (confidence HIGH for issuance; outcomes UNCONFIRMED)

  • 412th NEMESIS Donetsk Airport strike claim: Via БУТУСОВ ПЛЮС (16:18:01) and WarArchive (16:24:04). (confidence MEDIUM for location; UNCONFIRMED for damage)

  • Presidential Brigade ZU-23-2 shootdown claim: Via Президентська бригада ЗСУ (16:20:06) and Оперативний ЗСУ (16:29:41). (confidence MEDIUM for unit/equipment; UNCONFIRMED for outcome)

  • General Staff Redkinsky plant strike claim (Tver Oblast): Via Exilenova+ (16:32:09). Date ambiguity noted. (confidence MEDIUM for claim; LOW for specifics)

  • Dnipropetrovsk OVA damage and casualty reporting: Hanza (16:30:08). Official regional administration source. (confidence HIGH for reporting; UNCONFIRMED for independent verification)

  • Kharkiv medical-unit banner display: ПН | Преступности.НЕТ (16:01:34). Ceremonial/commemorative activity in Saltivka. Non-combat. (confidence MEDIUM for location; UNCONFIRMED for date)

Civilian and infrastructure impact

  • Dnipropetrovsk Oblast (official): Hanza/ОВА (16:30:08): 3 killed, 5 injured across four districts. In Dnipro city, enterprises, infrastructure, and a private house damaged; four men hospitalized (ages 40, 49, 60, 63). In the Nikopol area, five communities affected; warehouse, infrastructure, and farm building damaged; 43-year-old man hospitalized in severe condition. Agricultural enterprise hit in Novooleksandrivka. Bohdanivka and Mezhivka communities targeted. Watermarked photo shows a residential house with displaced roof and shattered windows. (confidence HIGH for official reporting; UNCONFIRMED for independent casualty reconciliation)

  • Donetsk Airport (claimed strike): No civilian-impact data supplied. The airport is in occupied territory; any effects on local residents are not addressed in the sources. (UNCONFIRMED)

  • Redkinsky plant, Tver Oblast (claimed strike): No civilian-impact data. The facility is an industrial site; local effects are not described. (UNCONFIRMED)

  • Russian domestic fuel pressure (carried forward): ASTRA/Reuters (prior batch): fuel rationing in Moscow, Leningrad Oblast, and other regions. No new data in this batch.

  • Kryvyi Rih water infrastructure (carried forward): Вілкул (prior batch): 11 km water main replacement, 5,400+ power outages cited. No new data in this batch.

  • No new civilian-impact data is supplied for Kharkiv (beyond the ceremonial banner), Poltava, Chernihiv, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Sumy, Belgorod, Crimea, or Zatoka beyond those noted. Areas absent from this batch are not established to be quiet or unchanged.

Information environment and disputed claims

  • Redkinsky plant date anomaly: Exilenova+ (16:32:09) caption states "вночі 9 жовтня 2026 року" (night of 9 October 2026) while the message is timestamped 10 November 2026 and the satellite image is dated 21 October. This may be a genuine October event being reported in November, a typo for "9 November," or a scenario projection. The temporal reference is unresolved and materially affects whether this is a new or historical strike. (UNCONFIRMED for event date)

  • Donetsk Airport package provenance mixing: БУТУСОВ ПЛЮС and WarArchive attribute the video to 412 NEMESIS, but frames carry a "СПАЛАХ" emblem, indicating footage was aggregated from multiple units or sources. The 3D animation presents an inferred target layout as fact. The geolocation pin (48.071721, 37.754693) is a few km west of the actual runway centerline. (confidence LOW for unit-level attribution; UNCONFIRMED for damage)

  • MoD Russia weapon-system mislabeling: MoD Russia (16:34:57) attributes thermal-imagery impacts to "heavy flamethrower systems" of three operational groups. The visual pattern—multiple discrete bright spots from an elevated perspective—is inconsistent with ground-launched flamethrowers or TOS-1A systems and more consistent with artillery or drone-dropped munitions. The naming of three groups without a specific sector is a broad propaganda framing. (confidence LOW for weapon attribution)

  • Дневник Десантника ERAM claim: The "official MoD confirmation" of four ERAM interceptions is not linked to any MoD press release, date, or location. The accompanying photo is a Zone5 test-range image of an intact missile, creating a false visual corroboration. "ERAM / Rusty Dagger" may not correspond to official US program designations. (confidence LOW; UNCONFIRMED)

  • Tanker reversal framing: ЦАПЛІЄНКО (16:23:55) adds a "Trump-Putin diesel deal" causal narrative and a 😁 emoji not present in the Bloomberg source. РБК-Україна (16:26:58) uses "несподівано" (unexpectedly), framing the event as a surprise. Neither outlet provides the underlying Bloomberg article link or explains why the tankers turned back (sanctions enforcement, insurance withdrawal, buyer default, and price changes are all possible). The tanker's Greek-sounding name suggests possible shadow-fleet ownership. (confidence MEDIUM-HIGH for the reversal event; LOW for the causal narrative)

  • Suvorov ceremony propaganda framing: Басурин о главном (16:07:00) explicitly links the 6 November ceremony to the "special operation," citing the 106th Guards Airborne Division's Order of Suvorov award. The "2025–2050" book range and "10 years Eternally Alive" anniversary are state memory-politics signals. The event is non-combat but carries an ideological mobilization function. (confidence MEDIUM-HIGH for event occurrence; editorial framing noted)

  • Bulgarian protests framing: Рыбарь (16:20:41) presents the Varna protests as evidence of a "growing contradiction" between the Bulgarian government and its population, attributing regional tension to the European Commission. The channel's framing ("t. n. Ukraine") and editorializing go beyond the reported protest event. (confidence MEDIUM for protest occurrence; LOW for the broader political narrative)

  • CyberBoroshno merchandise: КіберБорошно (16:21:09) is a commercial product launch, not an operational report. The 30×24 m breach claim for Votkinsk is a graphic-design element. The "2025" text on the shirt print further complicates the date of the referenced strike. (confidence LOW as evidence; noted for information-environment completeness)

  • Kharkiv banner date uncertainty: ПН | Преступности.НЕТ (16:01:34) video shows autumn foliage but no date verification. The street sign (Svitlinska 50) confirms location in Saltivka, an area liberated in September 2022. The event could be a rotation, commemoration, or current garrison activity; none is established. (confidence MEDIUM for location; UNCONFIRMED for date and context)

  • Colonelcassad Iran missile facility: The "war with the USA" and Diego Garcia framing in the caption is editorial embellishment not supported by the Iranian military media images or by any verifiable US-Iran conventional conflict. Iran has previously unveiled similar underground facilities (2015, 2020, 2022); novelty is uncertain. (confidence MEDIUM for photos as Iranian state media; LOW for the narrative framing; non-combat, noted for completeness)

Evidence limitations and unresolved questions

  • Dnipropetrovsk casualties: Hanza/ОВА figures (3 killed, 5 injured, 30+ attacks) are a single official source. No DSNS, hospital, or independent verification is supplied. The photo shows one damaged house; it does not establish the full extent of damage across all four districts. The prior-batch Dnipro account (2 killed, 4+ injured) may be an earlier snapshot of the same event or a separate incident; reconciliation is not possible from the supplied material.

  • Donetsk Airport strike: No timestamp, no Russian-side acknowledgment, no independent satellite imagery, and no General Staff statement. The video is a brigade-produced package mixing footage from at least two sources. The "Geran-5" designation and "Middle Strike" munition are not independently defined. The strike date is not stated.

  • Redkinsky plant strike: The date reference ("9 October 2026") conflicts with the message timestamp (10 November 2026) and the satellite image date (21 October). Whether this is a new November event, a historical October event, or a reporting error is unresolved. The Kh-55/Kh-101 fuel-component claim is consistent with open-source reporting on the facility but is not independently verified in this post.

  • Presidential Brigade shootdowns: The video content was not available for frame-by-frame analysis. No geolocation, date, or drone-type confirmation is provided. The claim originates from the brigade's own channel and a General Staff relay; these are not independent sources.

  • 68th Brigade Dovbush's Hornets: Only one vehicle is visible in the provided frames against a claim of five vehicles and two personnel. No geolocation, date, or terrain confirmation. The fundraising context creates an incentive for aggregate overclaiming.

  • ERAM/Rusty Dagger interception: No primary MoD source, date, location, or battlefield imagery. The photo is a test-range image. Nomenclature alignment with US programs is uncertain.

  • MoD "fire barrage": No geolocation, sector identification, or weapon-system verification. The thermal imagery is consistent with a fire-support event but the flamethrower attribution is contradicted by the visual pattern.

  • Tanker Agioi Fanendes: The Bloomberg AIS data is credible for the reversal itself, but the "two prior tankers" claim is not independently detailed in this batch. The causal explanation (deal failure, sanctions enforcement, insurance, commercial) is unestablished.

  • Bulgarian protests: The protest event is reported by a single pro-Russian channel. The petition count (>6,000) and Kostadinov's exact statements are not independently corroborated. The broader political narrative is the channel's editorial framing.

  • Vyazniki funding suspension: Single-channel report. The underlying local-decree documents are not cited.

  • Kharkiv banner: No date, no unit number, no event context. The video's autumn foliage is consistent with November but cannot be confirmed.

  • Sloviansk, Lyman, Nizhyn, Zatoka, Staraya Russa, oil-refinery figures, and all other prior-batch items: No new data in this batch. Their status remains as previously reported with the same confidence levels and verification gaps.

  • Weather (supplied, 16:30 UTC, 10 Nov): Kharkiv/Vovchansk 2.5 °C mainly clear (27% cloud), wind 1.1 m/s; Luhansk/Svatove 3.9 °C mainly clear (47% cloud), wind 1.1 m/s; Donetsk/Pokrovsk 2.7 °C partly cloudy (78% cloud), wind 1.8 m/s; Zaporizhzhia/Orikhiv 4.7 °C overcast (100% cloud), wind 2.7 m/s; Kherson 5.6 °C overcast (82% cloud), wind 1.9 m/s. No precipitation. Daily forecast: overcast at all five points; precipSum 0.0–0.2 mm; windMax ≤ 3.2 m/s. Numeric observations only; no tactical implications drawn.

  • DSF belief masses (supplied, uncalibrated): Highest individual hypothesis masses: Uncertainty (0.460), Information Warfare: Propaganda Effort by Ukraine (0.040), Information Warfare: Disinformation Campaign by Russia (0.030), Technology Deployment: Use of ZU-23-2 by Ukraine (0.029), Legal Action: Domestic Legal Challenge in Russia (0.021), Military Action: Drone Strike by Russia on urban targets in Kirovohrad Oblast (0.017), Information Warfare: Propaganda Effort by Russia (0.019), Military Action: Drone Strike by Ukraine on Shahed UAV storage at Donetsk International Airport (0.013). Group 4 (hockey/sports) and Group 15 (ZU-23-2) are the only fusion groups with raw_source_count = 2; all others have raw_source_count = 1. These are analytic support scores, not factual probabilities, and do not alter the UNCONFIRMED status of any reported outcome.
